This is where I'm confused, this really shouldn't succeed

loff_t do_clone_file_range(struct file *file_in, loff_t pos_in,
                           struct file *file_out, loff_t pos_out,
                           loff_t len, unsigned int remap_flags)
{
        loff_t ret;

        WARN_ON_ONCE(remap_flags & REMAP_FILE_DEDUP);

        if (file_inode(file_in)->i_sb != file_inode(file_out)->i_sb)
                return -EXDEV;


loff_t vfs_clone_file_range(struct file *file_in, loff_t pos_in,
                            struct file *file_out, loff_t pos_out,
                            loff_t len, unsigned int remap_flags)
{
        loff_t ret;

        file_start_write(file_out);
        ret = do_clone_file_range(file_in, pos_in, file_out, pos_out, len,
                                  remap_flags);

And even if we get past here, I imagine XFS would freak out because it can't
find the extents (unless you're getting lucky and everything is lining up?).
I'm super confused...
